Chapter 41: The Calm Before the Storm

"Drive!"

On a wide official road to the west of Shadow Moon Valley, four people and four riders were galloping all the way at a very fast speed.

The closer you get to Anyang Town, the more desolate the scenery along the way, and even a white skeleton can be seen everywhere on the roadside!

"Jiang Yuan, are they all humans killed by the demons? It's scary! ”

Hamster Pudding looked at the white bones scattered randomly on both sides of the road, a look of fear appeared on his face, and the hand held by Jiang Yuan unconsciously tightened.

"It should be the townspeople who escaped from Anyang Town, and they were killed by the demons on the way."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the miserable situation on both sides of the road, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, don't look around, looked at the hamster pudding and said.

"Jiang Yuan, we are probably less than ten minutes away from arriving in Anyang Town."

Wen Ding Cangsheng opened the big map, searched the location of Anyang Town, patted the horse forward, and said to Jiang Yuan, who was holding hands with hamster pudding.

"Jiang Yuan, people have adapted to it, you, you can let go of others."

Seeing that Wending Cangsheng was coming, hamster pudding was a little embarrassed after all, and said to Jiang Yuan with a red face.

"Brother Cangsheng, let's speed up and strive to enter Anyang Town as soon as possible."

Jiang Yuan nodded, let go of the hand holding the hamster pudding, and then looked at the winner and said.

"Good!"

Wen Ding Cangsheng nodded, patted Yun Ma's buttocks hard, Yun Ma was in pain, hissed, and suddenly increased his speed, leaving Jiang Yuan and hamster pudding behind him with a whoosh.

About five or six minutes later, Jiang Yuan and his entourage finally arrived at the destination of this tripβ€”Anyang Town!

Looking at Anyang Town, which was full of ruins and ruins in front of him, Jiang Yuan could imagine how cruel the war had been here, took a deep breath, jumped off the back of the dragon beard tiger, and then casually cast a "soul sacrifice", and the dragon beard and tiger disappeared in response.

The other three also dismounted, took out the horse card, pointed a little on the horse card, and the three cloud horses shrank at the same time, flying into the respective backpacks of Winning Cangsheng, hamster pudding and Ding Ye and disappeared.

After experiencing the invasion of the demons, the whole town of Anyang Town was almost full of soldiers at this moment, and the soldiers guarding the city gate saw three men and one woman walking towards this side from a distance, and immediately raised their weapons to aim at them, and shouted: "Stop!" Who are you? ”

"We were entrusted by the Song City Lord of Ping'an City to help Anyang Town resist the invasion of demons."

Jiang Yuan walked out of the four, came to the soldier who spoke, and said politely.

"Empty words, what evidence do you have to prove that you are reinforcements sent by the Song City Lord and not a spy of the demon clan?"

The soldiers guarding the city were very cautious, looking at Jiang Yuan and the others vigilantly, without the slightest intention of letting them go.

"Where's your garrison captain Mao Cheng'an? Let him out. ”

Jiang Yuan remembered the captain of the garrison mentioned when Song Shichang gave him a token before leaving, and immediately said to the soldiers guarding the city.

"Lord Mao, how can you just see it, what if you are a spy sent by the demon clan and try to assassinate Lord Mao?"

From the mouths of the soldiers guarding the city, Jiang Yuan could tell that their garrison captain seemed to be very loved by the soldiers.

"Whoa! Check this out! ”

Seeing that the other party still didn't believe his identity, Jiang Yuan had no choice but to take out the token that Song Shichang handed over to him, shook it in the eyes of the soldiers defending the city, and said.

"What! Castle Lord's Order! ”

The soldiers defending the city looked at the token in Jiang Yuan's hand, and were shocked, and then knelt on the ground with a "poof", and shouted loudly: "Meet a few adults!" ”

Seeing that the city lord's order was as if the city lord was coming in person, the two soldiers guarding the city finally dispelled their suspicions of Jiang Yuan and the others, and not only got out of the way, but also personally welcomed Jiang Yuan and the others into the city.

"This thing is actually the City Lord's Order!"

Jiang Yuan looked at the token in his hand with some surprise, he didn't expect Song Shichang to trust him so much, and handed over the city lord order, which symbolized the supreme power of Ping'an City, to himself!

Soon, the soldiers defending the city led Jiang Yuan and others to find Mao Chengan, the captain of the garrison who was patrolling the town.

"Lord Mao, this lord was sent by the city lord, and he has the city lord's order given by the city lord himself."

After the soldiers defending the city finished speaking, they looked at Jiang Yuan beside him and gestured to Mao Chengan.

"Lord Mao, this is the token given to me by the City Lord of Song, please take a look!"

Jiang Yuan handed the token that he had been holding in the palm of his hand to the burly middle-aged man with a full beard in front of him.

"I will meet with a few adults!"

After Mao Chengan took the token and carefully identified it, he immediately knelt down and bowed his head to Jiang Yuan and the others and hugged his fists, and anyone who held the city lord's order would be like the city lord in person, so Mao Chengan had to salute according to the rules.

"Lord Mao, please get up!"

Jiang Yuan hurriedly helped Mao Chengan up and signaled him not to be so polite.

"Lord Mao, a few of us are new to the city, and we are not familiar with the situation in Anyang Town, please tell us about the situation in Anyang Town now?"

In order to find out the current situation in Anyang Town as soon as possible, Jiang Yuan didn't bother to be polite to the other party, so he went straight to the point.

"Good! Let's talk as we go! ”

So, Jiang Yuan and his entourage followed Mao Chengan to inspect the city defense while listening to the other party's introduction to the battle situation in Anyang Town.

"Now the latest situation is like this, the demons occupy Anbei Mountain in the north of Anyang Town and Annan Mountain in the south, condescendingly, forming a flanking attack on us. Just the day before yesterday, we had just repelled a new round of attack from the demons, and we had lost dozens of brothers! ”

After Mao Chengan finished speaking, he thought of his siblings who died in the war, and his eyes couldn't help but redden.

"How many troops do the demons have now? How many soldiers are still in Anyang Town who can fight? ”

Although Jiang Yuan has never participated in a war since he was a child, he still understands the truth in "The Art of War" that "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles", so the first question is about the comparison of forces between the two sides.

"According to the information provided by the spies sent, the total number of demons in Annan Mountain and Anbei Mountain is about two thousand, and there are less than five hundred soldiers who can fight on our side. If the city lord doesn't send people to support, I estimate that the next round of demon attacks will be the day when Anyang Town is lost! ”

The armor on Mao Chengan's body has been stained dark red with blood, which shows how many bloody battles they have experienced before!

"Two thousand? In other words, there are only twenty demon centurions, Lord Mao, have you seen most of the demons show up? ”

Jiang Yuan had met with the demons in the abyss crack before, and knew the division of the demon army, the only thing that worried Jiang Yuan was that if the other party had a big capital commander in charge, it would make him feel tricky, after all, Jiang Yuan had deeply felt the horror of the demon capital before!

"I've seen it! The one who commanded the demon army this time was a metropolitan commander named Guma. ”

"What? It's him? ”

After Mao Chengan finished speaking, Jiang Yuan's face instantly showed a shocked expression.

"Brother Jiang Yuan, have you seen their capital?"

Looking at the expression on Jiang Yuan's face, the leader of the Winning Guild, Winning Cangsheng, immediately asked.

"Brother Cangsheng, I've really seen it, but I didn't even have the courage to fight him at that time, so I ran away."

Jiang Yuan looked at the victorious people, smiled bitterly, and didn't care about his own face, and told the embarrassing experience in the abyss crack before.

"Yikes! Then most of the demons must be a very powerful BOSS.,A few of us shouldn't be able to beat it, right? ”

Jiang Yuan's strength, the other people are obvious to all, and when they heard that Jiang Yuan was not an opponent, the hamster pudding immediately said with a sad face.

"I can't say that, I was only level 85 when I first met Guma, and now I'm level 91, and I have a mythical suit, so it shouldn't be a problem to kill him."

In front of Mao Chengan, Jiang Yuan didn't dare to say anything about "growing the ambition of others and destroying his own prestige", so he pretended to pat his chest lightly and said to the hamster pudding.

"Really? I didn't expect Jiang Daren's strength to be so strong, which is really good news for the people of Anyang Town! ”

After listening to Jiang Yuan's words, Mao Chengan was overjoyed, took Jiang Yuan's hand, and said excitedly.

"Lord Mao, the battle situation is urgent now, please hurry up and assign a few tasks to us!"

Jiang Yuan also wanted to end the main quest of Anyang Town as soon as possible, so he hurriedly said to Mao Chengan.

"Okay! Everyone, please come with me! ”

As soon as Mao Chengan's voice fell, Jiang Yuan, Wending Cangsheng, hamster pudding and Jiang Yuan's friend Ding Ye all received the system prompt.

"Ding! Trigger the new series of main quests, 'Guarding Anyang Town', do you accept it? ”

Several people unanimously chose to accept, and then followed Mao Chengan's footsteps together.

At the first stop, Mao Cheng'an brought the four of them to the east of Anyang Town, which was facing the two mountains of Annan and Anbei, and the pressure was less, so Mao Cheng'an did not have many troops here for defense.

"The defensive pressure here is not very great, you just need to send someone to guard here!"

Mao Chengan turned around and said to Jiang Yuan and the others.

In the face of Mao Chengan's proposal, Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "Lord Mao, the place with little pressure is handed over to the soldiers guarding the city, please give the place with the most pressure to the four of us!"

When Mao Chengan heard this, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and took Jiang Yuan's hand and said movingly: "I didn't expect Lord Jiang to pick the most dangerous place, this spirit made me very moved!" But for the sake of the safety of several adults, it is better for the last general to guard the most dangerous north gate, and several adults to guard the southeast, west, and west sides! ”

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry, originally Jiang Yuan thought that this time he brought a few of them to let them follow him to experience, if they were separated, how could he take them to upgrade together?

"Lord Mao, please rest assured, with the four of us guarding the north gate, it will be difficult for the demon clan to attack even if there are thousands of troops!"

Jiang Yuan patted his chest and assured Mao Chengan, and said that he was willing to make a military order, so he persuaded Mao Chengan.

"Adults, this is the North Gate, once the demons attack, this will become the main battlefield, please be careful!"

After Mao Chengan brought Jiang Yuan and the four of them to the north gate, he was still a little relieved, and told him again and again.

"Don't worry, Lord Mao, if we really can't stand it, we will definitely ask for your assistance!"

Jiang Yuan is also a person who understands the general situation, a few of them can be resurrected after death, in case the north gate is lost, the people of the entire Anyang Town will have no way to live!

Mao Chengan saw that Jiang Yuan didn't mean to be reckless, so he immediately put his mind at ease, nodded to them, and said a few more words before leaving.

In this way, Jiang Yuan, Wen Ding Cangsheng, Hamster Pudding and Ding Ye climbed the North Gate Tower and sat against the wall, at this time it was late, the night covered the sky, the two mountains of Annan and Anbei in front were silent, and the entire Anyang Town was a little scary.

Jiang Yuan looked at the silent and empty field in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart: "Maybe this is the tranquility before the storm!" ”
